Driver feature differences

All Coverlet drivers share the same coverage engine. Since version 3.0.0, we've consolidated versioning across drivers, so for every new release, all drivers will have the same version number.

We think that keeping the versions in sync better expresses the set of features every release will have. This does not mean that all drivers will support every functionality/feature or have the same behaviours, since they are limited by the context they're running in.

In the table below we keep track of main differences:

Feature	MSBuild	.NET Tool	DataCollectors
.NET Core support(>= 2.0)	Yes	Yes	Yes
.NET Framework support(>= 4.6.1)	Yes	Yes	Yes(since 3.0.0)
Show result on console	Yes	Yes	No
Deterministic reports output folder	Yes	Yes	No
Merge reports	Yes	Yes	No
Coverage threshold validation	Yes	Yes	No
Deterministic build support	Yes	No	Yes

When possible, we advice you to use the collectors integration (VSTest engine integration), since it is fully integrated inside the test pipeline and does not suffer from the known issues of the other drivers.
